You risk your life every time you step out the door. Or even stay at home. Even when you're sleeping. Anyway, these folks are some of the luckiest people out there. You never know how life will roll the dice, but it looks a lot like these people got a second chance that many aren't afforded. If you're in the mood, here are some more nerve-wracking stories of survival.

So at work I occasionally listen to music through headphones (don't worry, they do a good job of keeping the sound in and I make sure the music doesn't leak out and annoy coworkers etc. etc.). When I wear my headphones, the headphone wire hangs on the right side of my office chair's arm. When I put my headphones back on my desk, the wire loops around the left side of my chair's arm. When I roll my chair away to get up, the wire catches and my headphones clatter to the floor. EVERY. GODDAMN. TIME.
